This makes a good chicken salad, but I don't think it's memorable. I skipped pureeing one of the celery stalks for some extra crunch.

I'm surprised by how positive this salad's reviews are. The dressing was too sweet, almost like pouring syrup over my salad. I didn't hate it, but as written, I wouldn't make this again. I tried adding feta cheese and then more lemon juice, but although those cut the sweetness, they didn't make this salad as good as I had hoped. I like the combination of strawberries, lettuce, avocado, and nuts, but the dressing doesn't make the cut. I probably won't try this again, but if I do, I'll leave the sugar out of the dressing or just use another dressing entirely. (This review might be sounding too negative - it was a fine salad, and I ate it all, but I just don't think I'll make it again.)

I used a different crust recipe, so I'm only reviewing the toppings. This was a tasty pizza, but I think it's better with some changes. It has the advantage of being easy to adjust, which is great because my husband and I have very different tastes. He doesn't like veggies, so I left out the onion and salsa on his and increased the meat. I piped sour cream on top of his pizza and topped it with crushed Doritos. He liked it, but I don't think it's a favorite. On my pizza, I followed the recipe and then topped it with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and Doritos. The spices were a little strong for me, so I'll use less of the tomato paste mixture on my pizza next time. I'm a veggie-lover, so I thought that the tomatoes and lettuce were crucial ingredients. However, they kept falling off the pizza! I don't want to put them under the cheese because I think they're better uncooked, but the pizza is hard to eat with the lettuce and tomato piled on top.
